DAILY PICS VOL. 139

Pelletory it looked to be eating ok.... I was sad seeing it like that though

:(

Really nice birds everyone. 

Adelbertcat, I recall seeing a documentary on Dippers about twenty years ago.  What fascinating, strong little birds they are.  Lucky you seeing them.  Did you see them enter the stream?

Here's a couple belted kingfishers. The one on the left has a small fish.

I like the crest on the right one.

Nice pics guys!

adel, Love the last Heron shot, very unique.

Love those Kingfishers claypa!

Thanks - here's a Bald Eagle in the same tree, giving me a hard look

...right before he flew away

wow... I couldn't imagine seeing an eagle in the wild

Love the Eagle pics, claypa. I'll be starting a new daily pics thread later this morning.

I'm just aching to see a bald eagle! Those shots are wonderful. They don't even seem real.

Nice shots claypa! I would love to see an eagle.

Fanatstic!!

I love your pictures Claypa. Isn't it exciting to see these proud birds? We have them here most of the year and I always feel so privileged to just watch them. Have you seen the Golden Eagles too? We have them here, but I've never seen one.

This is one of my favorite photos. Those talons look fierce.

They do look fierce;nice shot!

MargaretK...................These didn't go under the water, but where I grew up there were a lot of Dippers and I was able to watch them feed. The first time I saw a dipper go under the water I thought that it had fell in, then I saw it surface and go back under again and realized that it was doing ths on purpose.
